As she throws the bag over her shoulder Blake comes up behind her. "Hey the teacher said you need help with math, and sadly I have the best grade so I have to help you." She stands there dumbfounded for a moment. "Um ok? I guess you can come to my house, my dad isn't home till late tonight so we can study." Blake nods at her and heads out of the room toward his car. "I live at 123 maple road" She brushes her hair back and starts walking to her house. "Where you going? I'll drive you." Salem shyly gets in his car and pulls out her phone. "She's hanging out with Blake!" Rebecca posted after seeing them get in his car together. "Omg whore alert" "Ew no one talks to him." "Witch and warlock lol" Salem laughs and logs off of the app. "What's that about?" Blake asks her. "Just reading posts on the school site. They said I'm a whore for getting in your car." He laughs and shakes his head. "Wow they are dumb." He says with a small laugh. "Yeah they are." She agrees looking out the window. "This is my turn." She says pointing at the road. He pulls in the drive way and looks at her house "damn this is nice. " He says. They walk inside and Salem leads him to the kitchen. "You want anything?" "Got a beer?" She looks at him confused "I'm kidding a soda please." She hands him a coke and he takes a sip. "Ok so what do you need the most help with?" "How do you have the best grade?" She asks ignoring his question. He sighs "I just do now what do you need help with most." "Calculus.... I really suck at it." He nods and pulls his book from his bag and opens to beginner calculus. "Ok so.... " She tries to follow what he's saying but she just can't understand it. "I'm sorry I just don't get it." He nods and closes the book. "That's fine we can work more on it later. He pulls a pack of cigarettes out of his jacket pocket and looks for his lighter. " Damnit." He says as he can't find it, he lights his pinky on fire and lights his cigarette. Salem looks at him in disbelief. "D-did you just.....? " Taking a long drag he realizes what he'd shown her. "Um yeah... I did. " He stammers. He hands her a cigarette which she happily takes, hen lights hers the same way he did his. She takes a long drag letting the bitter smoke fill her lungs. Without coughing she smokes it and rubs her head. "How did you do this? What are you?" "I'm... Well I don't really know what to call it. I'm just I can heal dead animals and control fire. As I showed you." She shakes her head softly. "How?" "I don't know. I was just born with it. Some of us are." She finishes her cigarette and stands up. "Do you wanna watch TV?" She asks trying to change the subject. He nods and stands as well. "The downstairs tv is busted so we have to go to my room." He smirks to himself and follows her up the steps watching her hips sway with every step. After making it to her room he sits on her desk chair and her on her bed. Turning on the tv to find nothing interesting. "So what are your powers?" He asks bluntly "are you crazy? I don't have powers." He laughs at her "yeah you do sweet cheeks. " They argue for hours about her powers in till they fall asleep. Then, her dad gets home from work.
